17 Noah was found to be perfect and just, and so, in the time of wrath, he was made a reconciliation.
18 As a result, there was a remnant left for the earth, when the great flood was made.
19 The covenants of the world were placed with him, so that all flesh would not be wiped away by the great flood.
20 Abraham was the great father of a multitude of nations, and no one was found to be like him in glory. He observed the law of the Most High, and he formed a covenant with him.
21 In his flesh, he caused the covenant to stand, and when tested, he was found to be faithful.
22 Therefore, by an oath, he gave glory to him among his people, so as to increase him like the dust of the earth,
23 and to exalt his offspring like the stars, and to give an inheritance to them from sea to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.
